Really funny comedy where Ferrell and Reilly shine. Some things are definitely not appropriate for kids and even young adults so be careful with your audience.

Another very funny film thanks to the work of Judd Apatow and friends. Once again the cameos in his films really do it for me because of all the familiar funny folk. Two under-disciplined 40 year-old loaf-abouts meet when their parents marry. At first enemies, they team up when their parents demand them to straighten-up. The type of humor you have come to expect from these people.

Crude but funny

"Being a Will Ferrell fan, I was very disappointed in his last film "Semi-Pro." However, I thought this film brought back the craziness that I love about Mr. Ferrell and gave some great laughs. I saw this the night before my wedding with the guys in my wedding party and we all laughed like crazy. Good stuff!"

Funniest movies ever

"My first measure of a movie is whether it exceeds the expectations set by the trailer. I thought the premise of Step Brothers was a good fit for the inspired lunacy of "the boys," but I was hesitant. Both have wavered in recent efforts... Semi-Pro was a horrible failure and Walk Hard (while exhibiting momentary flashes of hilarity) was equally disappointing.

However, Step Brothers went well beyond the promise of the trailer and delivered in spades. Is it broad? YUP! Is it ridiculous? YUP. Does that matter? Not a bit. The movie is a laugh riot. Apatow's movie success has been predicated on his penchant for sophomoric hijinks perpetrated by underdevelop menchildren. That's what you go for. When he's on, he's golden; he's glittering here.

Bottom line, you don't go to a Hyundai dealership when you're shopping for a Benz. If you buy Step Brothers, you get what you pay for. Isn't that the point?"
